[@bensolouwu]

@@BrandonHeat243 i’m deleting my earlier comment because i think you’re right and i was wrong. i was writing in defense on the idea that it’s a 4 minute video and i think it’s very rare for someone to acknowledge that cats shouldn’t have to show affection to be cared for, which made me feel like she was probably a responsible caretaker, so i felt we didn’t have enough context to judge for certainty. but tbh i shouldn’t defend someone when i also don’t have more context. there are absolutely situations in this video that are not acceptable, and just plain unwise-like allowing children to approach a cat that’s known to not like kids, so at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter. this isn’t something dodo should be sharing-there’s so many other people who could get the point across and don’t exploit animals in times of clear stress

I have a similar cat. Good to have the cat checked out medically. My cat had some dental disease that was likely causing pain. She improved after that was resolved. She's also a cat who's afraid of her own shadow so a stress-free environment has also helped. As to the readers who say, "give to your father" maybe Dad doesn't want the cat. I appreciate the young woman who's willing to keep a difficult cat. Most would not, and we can't always completely alter our environments.

I adopted an older cat very much like this; it took several months to earn his trust, but he still hated everyone else. He was a big boy - 20+ pounds, and only slightly overweight - so he absolutely terrified everyone. When I was away for a week, he chased the cat-sitter out of my apartment. When I renovated my house, he intimidated and backed one of the workers into a corner, and wouldn't let him leave (the poor guy had to call me for help!). After I moved in with my wife, it took a year for the cat to stop trying to scratch her when she reached out to pet him. And, yet, when our son was born, that astonishingly mean old cat was a puddle of love from the first minute. He let my kid do anything to him. Tail-pulling, fur-messing, sitting on him, using him as a pillow. He let my son pick him up by the loose skin on his back, and carry him around like a purse without so much as a growl. Mean cats are, secretly, the best cats. You just have to be patient, and love them unflinchingly.

What did you do to change the cat's behaviour?

@@avnistar2703 To some extent, we had to tolerate it. My wife was persistently kind to him, and that eventually worked to win his loyalty. Strangers, we'd tell them not to try to touch him (no matter how much it looked like he wanted you to - it's a trap!). When children came over, we'd keep him in the basement. Sounds strange, but it was totally worth all that for how wonderful he was when it was just family - and for his unbreakable love for my son.

They ignore what everyone is saying but this is abuse to the cat. It isn't gonna have a happy life like this.

lifting the cat, taking her off balance, turning her upside down, entering her space, movements and laughter are even percieved as threatening to her. the cat is trying her best to comnunicate with these people but they completely ignore her language. it is one of the most painful things for me to watch... like seeing a person beating an agressive acting dog or a child in public. especially when the animal/child is responding to the owner/parents aggitation and stress expressions. cues are taken from owner/parent on a biochemical level. so the one wishing to control the situation must stay calm if they sincerely wish to interact with this being differently. it is not always intentional evil, unfortunately, many of them do so, not intentionally in ignorance or out of habit because lack of fully understanding the other beings impetus or communication attempts.

the cat appears to be territorial and afraid of hands. She will growl and hiss as a warning to stay back. if you don't listen to her warning and show her your hands, she will try to attack. She is also very likely not fond of noise and high movement. She needs a calm and quiet place without people to relax. One major mistake I see happen over and over again, is people trying to approach her to apologise or try to befriend her. When She hisses, move back and walk away. let her come to you and prove to her you are no threat to her. When she does, offer food or treats to gain her trust over time. Try to play with her with cat toys but keep your distance. Over time, she will warm up to you and start trusting you.

addendum; my own tomcat sit by the fireplace close to my desk and anytime I get up (frequently) to go to the kitchen, patio, anywhere... I have to walk past. I make it a habit of not petting him whether he's asleep or not, so he knows it's his relax space.

This family has to adapt how they interact with the cat (just made a post with suggestions so I won't repeat myself) or should find a quieter home for him. Animals have personalities just like people. Often times pets can have trauma (PTSD) from previous owners or incidents with strangers which can affect them for a long time (suspect that here).

[@matthewcaughey8898]

That kind of aggression is untypical of a cat. I really think they should watch my cat from hell and maybe even Jackson himself could give them a few pointers on how to deal with her aggression. I’ve had very skittish female cats eventually come out and say hello. The thing is you have to accept the cat’s terms for contact.

[@terrylopez5452]

Yes. Please contact Jackson Galaxy because you are endangering children, strangers and yourself with your cat’s antisocial behavior.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Jackson would say: Play with your cat, Play with your cat. Play. With. Your. Cat. She obviously needs a huge energy outlet that's controlled.

[@gailremp8389]

I think Jackson would tell her to let the dad love and help the cat and perhaps suggest she hold off on having children or another pet until she learns what it's like to be owned by a pet. You don't own them. Once they pick you as the target of their trust and love, you're doomed. And yes we have to set boundaries for the cats. Yes we are the actual alpha cat -- just don't tell them. They didn't get the email or that lesson @ cat college. But I have my spray bottle (I fondly call the bozo blaster and it works ).. One lady once said that I was abusing my cats because I sprayed them with water. I said well what do you do. She says I yell at them. And I just looked at her like OK how is yelling and screaming at a cat a better solution vs getting them a little wet & them clean themselves up (divert) and rethink if What they were doing & was it worth getting soaked over. Generally the answer is meow-hell-no. And then after a while if they wanna go back to the behavior (or they find a new one to get into that might kill them in the process by mistake), whatever I have in my hand at the time (pencil. pair of tongs, hair brush), They will laser focus on that item and think it is The evil invader and it's going to make them wet, they will turn around and leave. And if they're a little more feisty you might have to make the spray bottle noise. Just to convince them that a hairbrush really is a spray bottle. Ha ha. Bit no harm done. Sorry for ramble. But this girl is not respecting the cats territory. She thinks she can drag this cat everywhere around and that is how he is supposed to behave. Cause she expects the cat to act out. If I was the cat I'd slit her throat in her sleep. And then I would get sent to live with the dad. Hmmm..maybe that might be the solution to happiness. Ha ha. Everyone be safe. Peace. Blessings. Be kind. Be careful. We need you... use your creativity, curiosity and humor for good and as little evil as you possibly muster.

[@pxtchi]

She’d rather use her cat to generate revenue or online attention over actually seeking behavioral intervention for it. It’s so irresponsible. If you know your cat will attack anything that breathes, why would you let her drag you towards other people’s cats and dogs, and why the hell would you let random strangers pet her? It’s disappointing that The Dodo is giving a platform to someone like this.

Completely, she doesn't seem to understand her cats back off language. Cats tend to hiss more out of fear than agression. And if you knowingly brought an agressive dog up to stranger and it bites they could end up being euthanized. Rescuing an animal is a massive responsibility, which you claim upon adoption.

[@cocot286]

I agree, thank you for commenting this. I don’t understand why she’d let others come near knowing her cat will react negatively & possible hurt or get hurt in the process. Just seems irresponsible.

[@nancybernard3117]

To be fair, something is definitely wrong with this cat, and she needs help. This is not normal for a cat to hate so much that it strikes out at everyone and everything in her/his way. You need to find out what the problem is, so that your family and Nannoos can exist and share your home together. It is awful to be scared to death of an animal who you have brought into your home. I find this highly unusual for the Ginger cats. My first two Ginger cats were exceptional. They accepted and loved everyone, and co-existed with the dogs to the point where they were best friends and slept together, went on walks together, and the cats even groomed the dogs! I could sling the Dude over my shoulder and he would just lay there and ride along all day if you let him. Kids would pick him up and he would lay like a baby in their arms. Did you rescue this kitty or did you get her at the shelter. Female Gingers are more rare as they are usually male. I ADORE all animals and believe they all need a chance at life. If anything, this kitty belongs with her granddad, she has bonded with him, and loves him. The kids and your family deserve a cat that will fit in to the family and create joy and happiness, peace and love.

[@doracotterell2863]

The lady also loves to he cat and I am confident that she will follow all of these suggestion to create a happier life for the kitty and family members. Medical examination, house environment modification and a fantastic gifted animal behaviourist will do wonders. I APPLAUD this lady for her steadfast determination to love and keep the kitty. Clearly she has love & wisdom in her heart to instinctively realize: “the baby needed be thrown out with the bath water.”

I have a friend who has a dog that bit her 18 times and left marks on her face which she have to put makeup to cover it up. If that was me, that dog is gone, but my friend treat the dog like a family so they can’t just abandoned the dog since they raised him since a baby. And that’s also another reason, they spent a lot of money on him so it’s hard to give up this little fella. Overall, my friend and her family love him and she does hate him too for all the damage he caused.

The dad is the only one who doesn’t express nervous energy around the cat. That’s what she picks up on and responds to in every one else. The dad essentially just walked right over and snatched her up. He showed no fear. Therefore he is the cat whisperer. 😅

It’s not safe to be in an environment where you walk on eggshells. If the cat is stressed out by being around your home, find a better place for the kitty where she is at peace. This kind of environment not only stresses your kitty but optimizes you to be willing to engage in cycles of dangerous situations that can lead you to getting hurt. ❤
